Summer 2023 Transfer Window Thread

[wolfgar]

Based on what I’m reading I can’t see that there is much chance of Scott ending up here unfortunately.

I’m ok with the current focus on sales, but I just don’t want to see an identical summer to the last one - preseason tour cancelled, players brought in as the new season is kicking off, team looking unfit, confused and off the pace.

 

[Contrarian]

Trouble is there aren't that many about.

Just wait till Brighton unearth another one! Or Forest, Luton, whoever. All for less than we have paid for non-goal scoring failures.

The strikers of the future are out there somewhere. The clubs who find them will be the ones who reap the rewards. Exactly what we did with Raul. I can't believe that is the end of the story and there are no more out there.

Agree i just dont see the scott deal coming off. We keep being stung by paying out huge sums for potential, i just dont see us doing it again for a while unless we can get it to below 20m, which seems unlikely unless bristol city want to bring in players quickly as well. I reslly dont think the team will be unfit and off the pace when we start. With what lops did with them in the winter mini pre season, im confident he will have them fired up and ready to go. Focus needs to remain on getting those who he doesnt want here or dont want to be here themselves out so we know exactly what positions we need to be replacing with.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Wilfried Gnonto will leave Leeds United and is valued around €25m.

In recent days they have also received an approach from Aston Villa for the 19-year old forward.

[Alfredo Pedulla]

I would much rather him than Scott

The next couple of weeks are likely to be uncomfortable for Wolves fans. Some big players gone, others could follow and no incomings particularly close. But if things go to plan, the clearout could ultimately be exciting. ⁦

If Madeley's job is to lazily summarise Molineux Mix, he's nailed it with that.

Club still ‘negotiating’ with Wolves after seeing first offer rejected - Molineux star remains their ‘first goal’ - Sport Witness

To the surprise of many, Napoli made a first bid for Max Kilman earlier this week, which was quickly turned down by Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Serie A side have identified the Wolves giant as the ideal replacement for the departing Kim Min-jae, who will be signing for Bayern Munich, and the...

Hudson-Odoi decides to leave Chelsea​

Callum Hudson-Odoi has decided to leave Chelsea this summer, according to The Athletic.
Hudson-Odoi, who spent last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, still has one year left on his contract.
The England international is reporting for the first day of pre-season training at Chelsea on Tuesday afternoon under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino but does not expect to be at the club much longer.
Chelsea were already prepared to listen to offers for the 22-year-old, who has been at the club since he joined the U8s team.

Linked with Forest I saw earlier. I'm guessing he played under Cooper with England U20's?

How is he still only 22 years old? Feel like he's been around forever.

 

[Andywolf74]

I think Kilman could be more suited to Serie A than the Premier League, as it isn't generally as fast a paced league. I'm hoping that JL's of the opinion that Dawson's great positional sense and defending needs complimenting with defenders who are mobile and quick. Defenders with pace and mobility not only get turned less often but can also be quicker to the ball to start off attacks.
I personally think we've lacked pace through the spine of the team for a long time.

What a waste of words.

The whole thread?

 

[JOSWolf]

I've been critical of our signings policy so far this Summer, but crikey, not even I think Wolves would leave it to potentially less than three weeks before the start of the season as Madeley is implying here.

Will be foolish if we do. Not much time to integrate new signings in before the season starts. Not ideal at all and we saw what happened last pre season and the start we had.

 

[Skrilla]

Adama going to AC Milan apparently. They’re skint this summer, so they’re having to do things on the cheap to stay competitive. Big reason why they ended up reluctantly selling Tonali to Newcastle.

 

[DanishWolf]

If Madeley's job is to lazily summarise Molineux Mix, he's nailed it with that.

Problem is, he HAS to write something. But if there's nothing to report as nothing is imminent and/or he has no inside info all you end up with completely irrelevant pieces like this.
I know it's a difficult job and I don't like some of the personal abuse aimed at Madeley.
But for its Wolves content, The Atletic is worthless
I do enjoy lots of other articles from them. Often well researched and with lots of good insightful stuff.
If onky we had the same with Wolves...

Thought it was only 2 btw to grasshoppers so we are done with who we can send

Definitely 3 (we also have Sangbin Jeong, Kawabe & Bolla on loan there last season )

The below is a subset of FIFA's loan rules - only change from last year is it now 7 in/7 out over the season, rather than 8 last season.

Each league is obviously free to set their own within those limitations (for example PL only allow 2 at any one time), however I don't believe the Swiss Super League differs from FIFA

Technically, yes he would be a great signing. But I'm always wary of players his age leaving bigger clubs; they don't often start again on an upward trajectory.

 

[JOSWolf]

If I was a betting man, which I am not, then I would say there will be no signings this week apart from this bloke from Northampton Town. That is the feeling I get.

Reported to be on £120k/week....

Joining Loftus-Cheek then.
Still a good move for both of them I guess with Champions League football.

As long as a majority of the signings are in before or during the more tactical and technical side of pre season then it’s ok. What we don’t want is the season to start and we still have most of our shopping list to buy.

No I feel the opposite, mind you I did last season, at least we are not relying on Sellars

Nearly £80 million in the bank. Time to spend Wolves.

Surely that's Crewe then?

I ignore him like I do most boggie supporters I know. Think he likes to provoke the pant wetting Wolves fans on twitter.

I think that's a pity, he'd have been great for us I think. We are certainly putting a lot of trust in Lopetegui

Interesting Hobbs quote from the Collins story:

"“Sometimes a deal arrives which works for both parties. Nathan can go and get his football and we protect ourselves in the long-term, so when he achieves what I think he’ll achieve, we’ll also see a benefit from that."

Sounds like a sell on clause has been included.

It does doesn't it. And also sounds that he wasn't going to be first choice here regardless of any other ins or outs.

Or the fact that they don’t think he is actually that good and may be more likely to lose money if they keep him another season and he doesn’t kick on or develop.

bbc - Brentford agree £23m deal for Wolves' Collins

So late on the news ha

Collins to Brentford for around £23m has just been confirmed.

Well at least maybe we'll get another chance to see his kung fu assault on Jack Grealish, on his leaving video......not sure what else they'll put on though.....

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

So we have just sold a player our sporting director believes will be one of the best defenders in the country and we're supposed to trust the plan

Great move for Nathan and Wolves we can spend that money….

[Skrilla]

Keeping a centre back on the bench for an entire season when they’re out of favour makes zero sense when it’s clear the manager doesn’t have a lot of faith in him. A £7m profit (£23m - £16m book value) is decent considering he’s played so rarely since the turn of the year, and considering the problems we are facing with FFP which make him a luxury we can’t afford when an offer like this arrives.

Good luck to him, always felt he’s a little bit of a liability with the ball, but he’ll suit Brentford’s back three.
